Rzhevsky forest park in the city of St. Petersburg
Description:
Rzhevsky forest park in the Leningrad region adjacent to the city of St. Petersburg. It is called the Okhtin forestry farm. Initially, the land was allocated for scientific and economic activities, but years later the forestry was transferred to economic calculation.
The forest park was established in 1748, then the area of the massif was about 6000 hectares. Over the years, it has increased and decreased, and now the area does not exceed 1700 hectares.
Local residents visit the territory all year round: in summer they collect mushrooms, berries, herbs, walk with families, with children, ride bicycles, gather for kebabs, ski in winter, create ice open skating rinks and just enjoy the silence and beauty of nature.
